Premier League return pleases Andrea Dossena

Andrea Dossena has revealed that he was left "angry" when he departed the Premier League in 2010.

At the time the full-back was a Liverpool player, but he had struggled to make an impact at Anfield and was granted permission to join Napoli.

However, he returned to England yesterday evening by completing a move to Sunderland and speaking about his switch, the 31-year-old has expressed his delight.

"My first game for Liverpool was against Sunderland, and I remember the stadium; the atmosphere was amazing," he told the club's official website.

"I'm very happy to come back to England, and now I can start to work with an Italian manager. I know his kind of football, his kind of work. He works hard, and tries to do his best on the pitch.

"The Premier League is the most beautiful league in the world. I left in 2010, but I was angry to leave this country, and now I've come back because I think I can do my best for Sunderland."

Dossena was part of the Napoli squad that won the Italian Cup last year.
